Forty Stories

Overview
Commentary
These stories, some of which first appeared in the "New Yorker," are compact, well-honed representatives of Barthelme at the height of his literary and imaginative powers. They include journeys such as an illustrated tour of the "Tolstoy Museum," in which the great author's coat towers above visitors; a six-page story composed of a single sentence; dairy excerpts from "Conversations with Goethe" in which Goethe weighs in with observations like, "Music is the frozen tapioca in the ice chest of history," and "Actors are the Scotch weevils in the salt pork of honest effort."

Publisher's Notes
The late National Book Award-winning author offers a collection of short stories that reflects society's follies and foibles--including, "At the Tolstoy Museum," "Sentence," and "Porcupines at the University"--addressing Goethe, modern courtship, armadillos, marriage and divorce, and other themes. Reprint.

Reviews
"Donald Barthelme almost single-handedly has revived the genre of the short story and made it a fresh art form."
